To reach a wider audience, I should imagine that you would also be interested in porting both translations to the Java mobile phone platform, using Go Bible Creator.
The Go Bible project has been adopted by CrossWire, though some aspects of the adoption are still in a state of flux. Go Bible will be a "co-hosted project", as distinguished from being a "front end" application for SWORD modules. More information in my CrossWire wiki page, http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/User:David_Haslam http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/User:David_Haslam Go Bible Data Format is essentially close to "verse per line" (VPL), so it does not retain headings, cross-references, and footnotes, etc. Nonetheless it is a very attractive method to distribute the Word of God in a very accessible manner, especially observing the massive take up of mobile phones in many developing countries. Go Bible Creator can process directly from USFM files, though there are still tags that it cannot easily handle. One of the programmers is currently working on a USFM Preprocessor tool for Go Bible Creator. I will be posting more details about this in the future. If you are interested, please contact me further.
